Juvederm Has Settled in a Pool Above Cheekbones

I had Juvederm treatments and the product has settled in a pool above my cheekbones. Is there anything I can do to diminish this myself without going back to my Doctor and paying more money to fix this. Thank you

Too much Juvederm in the cheeks

If you are unhappy with Juvederm in your cheeks, there is something you can have done for it to help. You should speak to your doctor about hyaluronidase, an enzyme that can degrade the product. If you do nothing, your body will absorb the product on its own, however this may take several months.

Hyaluronidase can be injected to remove the Juvederm

An expert injector should be familiar with hyaluronidase. It is an enzyme that can be injected into the area and it will remove the Juvederm within 24 hours. You can then start over with fresh product. If your injector was not an experienced expert with fillers, go to someone who is and have him or her remove the Juvederm and then re-treat you.

I hope your doctor is a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. You should go back to the doctor when there are complications, or unsatisfactory results. Best is to disolve the juvederm and start from the begining. Choose your doctor who you can work with in good results and bad ones too

I would hope you have a good enough relationship with your doctor to contact him/her about this problem. Certainly he/she doesn't you walking around town advertising those kind of results. You should contact them immediately. This is a relatively easy problem to fix (in most cases) with a product called hyaluronidase.
